6:01 am
and a very good morning to you and thanks so much for joining us, i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> i'm sam brock. crews are at the scene of a deadly overnight fire in hayward. the flames so intense someone inside could not make it out. this all happened near medford avenue and mission boulevard. that's where we find kris sanchez who is live on scene. kris, what is the latest? >> good morning to you, firefighters are still here on the scene watching for smoldering and watching for hot spots but the real work today will be to identify the victim of that fire and also to find out how that fire started. it started about 3:00 this morning here on fuchsia court as you mentioned in what is considered the cherryline neighborhood in unincorporated hayward. while the flames were knocked down pretty quickly, for the person inside, it was too late. it was obvious to firefighters that that person was no longer
6:02 am
alive. firefighters found the body of that elder man about ten feet from the front door perhaps even closer from that single wide mobile home and it appears that he was the only person inside. >> upon entry heavy fire conditions of a forced entry into the front door or met with heavy fire conditions and they did locate the victim immediately upon entry. >> now, this is a densely populated, rather small mobile home park with narrow roadways. so, for a short time it appeared that at least one other home was at risk, but in the end, it suffered no damage from the fire or the smoke and it seems fortunate because they are closely packed in together. alameda county fire and the alameda county sheriff department are now handling the investigation, which is also a death investigation. pg&e watching for any power
6:03 am
system which is typical with this sort of fire. working to get more information for you. we'll get it for you as soon as we can. kris sanchez, "today in the bay." we have new details on a late night homicide in the south bay. investigators say a man was shot during a fight involving two large groups of people. the shooting happened off south 12th street not far from the stadium and happy hollow zoo. his body was taken to the coroner's office where investigators hope to figure out more about who the victim is and how he died. the officers walk the darkened streets looking for clues while helicopters flew overhead looking for a glimpse. >> like i said, the case is active and we're doing our best to look for potential suspects at this time. >> no one has been arrested. this is the city's 19th homicide of the year. new this morning, only on nbc, recovery after the rim
6:04 am
fire. a popular camp near yosemite is up and running this morning after months of renovation. today we're getting an exclusive look at the san jose family camp nearly one year after it was damaged by a devastating wildfire. "today in the bay" bob redell joins us live from the camp where workers are getting ready to receive campers and, bob, it must have taken a lot of work to get to this point. >> a lot of coordination. good morning to you. if you were here in this spot it would have been an inferno. the camp site that burned to the ground, nothing but a shell. as you can see, the san jose family camp has rebuilt this camp site along with 16 other camp sites as you look around the camp ground here. now, what is remarkable is how close they were to possibly losing the entire camp site, which includes around 65 tents. because if you look at the ridgeline up there where the sun is coming up, that's where the fire was and then extended all the way around in a horse shoe pattern around the site here, the san jose family because of
6:05 am
the efforts of cal fire and by having the luck of having some roads nearby, they were able to establish fire lines and keep this fire from expanding to much greater area in this particular spot. it was in january that san jose family camp brought on a new manager to be tasked with repairing the section of the camp. we just spoke with that manager. >> when i first came here, i saw a lot of dead trees, a lot of literally right behind me this tent, all that had remained was the metal frames of the cots that were in the tent. and they were literally dropped to the ground in place and charred. >> and you're thinking i have six months. >> i have six months with my team to make this up and running and main goal is safe. >> did you ever have any doubt about getting to this point on time? >> can't say no. can't say i never did.
6:06 am
but, it's still a team effort. still a team effort and you move forward. >> san jose family camp not only lost 17 camp sites, but its entire water system. so, we're talking about two wells, three tanks and a half mile roughly of pipe that had to be replaced. so, there's one of the tanks that was replaced. they have three 10,000 gallon tanks that are back on site, along with the plumbing. you're looking in the foreground there of some of the camp sites that didn't burn. there they are about 30 feet away. as you pull out here is the start of where the fire came in. so it gives you a sense of when you come out to these fires just how close the destruction is and how some areas can be spared. if you look over here, you'll see more of the baron and you might be able to see some stumps. 800 trees, 800 on this site alone that had had to be removed. most of them were damaged in the fire and some were actually damaged from the rotor wash of the low-flying aircraft doing
6:07 am
the dumps out here. because they were damaged so badly. they were in tremendous risk of falling down. the campers are returning today at 1:00. back in time, they didn't miss the season despite of the partial destruction here. they are back here at 1:00 and everyone who wanted a spot going to get some and the new camp sites putting the canvas on some of these this weekend if not into next week. the san jose family camp, bob redell "today in the bay." >> thanks a lot, bob. meantime, neighboring berkeley family camp that was destroyed will open at another location next weekend. although it was only seven miles away from the san jose family camp, it was burned to the ground by the devastating rim fire. next week the camp will open at a temporary location in the sierra. in addition, san jose family camp has invited former berkeley campers to stay at its location for a discounted rate.
